I've sent this to James to see if he could post the PDF version here on IPS, but here's the PNG version of the ACC Hat Schedule I made for the 2022 conference weekend series games.

Selfishly bumping this to the next page...

I have JT.JARRETT15 leading off

J Cooke

How are we looking health-wise going into the season?

I saw Duke lost a big arm for the season.

C.Falsken1 is coming back from injury and A.Pace25 is done playing ball other then that that's all I know

Close and I like it but maybe no

How I think Avent is going to do it

Jarrett 4
Groover 3
Hood 5
Brown 9
White DH
Cozart 2
Green 6
Soles 7
Pilloli 8

But if it were up to me Jarrett would bat 6th and Hood would lead off.

What about Sunday starter? I'm convinced Villaman is going to take the closer role. I can see it going to Payne, David Harrison or Logan adams. But who knows with avent

I like it a lot

1. Do we know if Dom Pilolli is healthy enough to play at the start of the season? Could we see him start out as DH (if he's even healthy enough for that)?

2. I'm interested in who's gonna be the Sunday starter as well. Payne or Harrison seem like good options but there are some young arms that could handle it as well, I hope. Payne or Harrison could be midweek guys too. Something to definitely watch, right? I really do think Villaman could be nasty in that closer role.

3. I feel like we have a lot of potentially good young arms, who will step up? Carson Kelly, Trey Cooper, Jacob Dienes? Others?

4. We haven't even talked about Godman, Lavoie, Lawson much. JUCOs that could/should be ready to contribute.

5. Bo Robinson is a damn good add to the coaching staff. He can coach.

3 Win Scott 49

He is fine D.Pilolli13 and good to go

Single game tickets on sale now. But looks like standing room only for some games already? Is that temporary until they release more tickets?

No clue

4 weeks away

#WPN, you’re incredible. 2022 season tickets are SOLD OUT.

this is impressive, but like the womens games, you are going to see lots of empty seats at games called sellouts, because season ticket purchasers buy blocks of four or six seats and then only one or two people go to games. Womens hoops tix were ridiculously cheap considering the quality of the product, so there was a considerable incentive to buy extra seats you weren't planning on sitting in, particularly given how small those seats in Reynolds are. Maybe with the hefty capital contribution this year, we had more people buying smaller numbers of season tix and actually showing up and using more of their seats.

Could season ticket holders sell their extras? Sure, but electronic ticketing has changed things, IMO.

I'm over 50, so I remember the days when, if you had extras, you had paper tickets you could sell at the gate on the way in. Now, with this electronic ticketing stuff, I don't feel comfortable exchanging cell phone numbers with a perfect stranger (which is the only way you can transfer the electronic tickets that I know of). Sure, I can transfer to a reseller, but that won't really work on your way into the game, will it?

Looking at the WPC site, there are no single game tickets for the main sections. The only single game tickets they're offering are Standing Room (concourse), grass hill, and bleachers above grass hill. The mini-packs they offer (3 mid week games, 6 weekend games) are the same price as single game tickets, and they're all in the bleachers above the grass hill.

a lot of speculation Logan Adams will get the Sunday nod to start with Highfill and Willadsen. But Villaman or Payne wouldn't be a surprise either

I still like the idea of having Villaman at the backend of the bullpen. You can't win in the postseason without a closer. Justice was the key to our Omaha run.

I'm with you on this. I like Villaman available for long relief or closing. Payne for long relief (was great in CWS Pack13 game but I don't think he is quite ready yet for a weekend spot. If Adams can perform in that weekend role we will be cooking with gas

Last couple years Johnston has started in the 'pen and ramp up during non conference play. I wonder if they do that with Highfill and Willadsen and start Adams, Villaman and Payne or something like that just to see what happens. Don't need to have a closer set in stone week one

---

I'm beginning to think they'll do what you suggested the other week and start Sam, Matt and Chris V on the weekend and then move Chris V to the pen like they did with Justice if no one else steps up.

I think Villaman will be much better as a starter than Justice was though, how does that impact things?

---

Don't know, unfortunately. I just think there are dudes than can be Sunday guys for us more than I think we have a guy to be a closer for us. Does that make sense?

If Justice had done better as a starter he would have stayed a starter the whole year. If Villaman proves he can be an effective starer then he will start. You're always going to prioritize finding a starter over a closer. Which is why guys like Justice and Villaman get every chance to prove they can start before moving them to the pen.

I think Villaman has the make up to be a starter. I worry about him developing a second pitch. To be a starter at the ACC level you have to have something other than a FB. As a closer you aren't going 2-3 times through the line up, lessening the value of a second or third pitch. Also I thought Villaman's stuff played up when he went to the pen last year.

Bolded point 1: Please don't take this the wrong way, but no ***** haha
Bolded point 2: That's why people like me think he'll eventually be the closer. Dude was nasty out of the pen starting with the Duke game and continuing against Bama, La Tech and Arkansas.
